Tarot- On the cards

Aries men will be on top of things now- this week is about consolidating all that you have worked for and stood for and be able to resume the leadership roles you have been doing all this time. This means that you will be in control of great ideas and ambitions just as you will have a clear head and great clarity to get things done as per your strong wish and will. For the women, their days will be influenced by these kind of people — either through spouses, partners or the elderly males in the family and in business. Mentors and other such like people will play a big role in the days to come. The card, Justice indicates that this time is about getting dues either by yourself or through the powers of those more powerful. This kind of influence is indicated by the King of Wands and the King of Swords, which is a really great combination.

There could be causes for enjoyment — wouldn’t use the word celebrations, but some kind of good time with a few friends and close people – is indicated by the appearance of the card, Three of Cups. This is something to take heart even in times when life around us is still very grim. Again, the Three of Swords shows that sometimes one makes decisions to enjoy and celebrate this life because this is the only one we have, and this is a clear-thinking head that allows this to happen. And with that comes the card, Death which means that the old life you knew will change into something and this will be the next phase of your life. The change could be discomforting initially but later you will realise that this is exactly how it is meant to go. Go with the flow and you will reach where you are meant to be. Also, don’t forget to enjoy the entire process 

This could be the time when children and youngsters are absent in the lives of many people and if a family it would most probably only consist of spouses or at best no one at all. This is one picture that emerges from the appearance of the card, Knight of Wands and the Six of Swords. Additionally, this could also mean that youngsters are taking initiatives to go do many things that would make them adventurous and bold and also make their parents and mentors proud of them. They would be showing a lot of involvement with social issues and also those of corporate affairs. This could result in some kind of an empty nest syndrome where life looks bland and somewhat purposeless. Meanwhile, the Fool card brings with it some cheer and a message to be carefree and hold life like you would a beautiful flower.

So if your inner world is filled with peace and happiness and a sense of fulfillment, you can be sure that the world outside will also reflect that. And the other way around too. So here you would need to sustain by keeping yourself in good cheer and do things that give you peace and happiness. The card, World is an indication that no matter what one has the choice to be happy. And automatically the world around you will also begin to settle down to your vibrations. The Four of Cups however shows that you are unlikely to look in familiar directions when it comes to overcoming your emotions and opportunities. You will also probably reject offers of empathy by others choosing instead to deal with things on your own. The suggestion is that opportunity comes knocking but once — take it if you know what is good for you.

You will have to be strong at a time like this. You cannot afford to crumble under pressures that will be there. And this is especially when it comes to money matters and you will be hard-pressed to debate endlessly about where to put the available finances. Both these aspects are indicated by the two of pentacles and the card, Strength. While this is so, the Nine of Pentacles shows that the women in the family and possibly in the work area will have things under control and will be a source of great strength and will propel things forward to achieve optimum results. This does not have to be at the office; it could be in the area of home management too. Basically, what this means is that the female energies will take things forward and help move things in the right direction.

You will have to bear with your lot — that is what the card, Temperance is telling you. Right now, at this point in time, you will have to deal with the cards you have been given. How you choose to do it will determine the course of the next couple of days. Also, your mind will constantly be troubling you with grim scenarios and will not allow you to live in peace. It will pull you down when it concerns unresolved issues. Even as you go through the lows in your mind you need to remember that this is not permanent, and the sun will shine again. The Ace of Pentacles appears to tell you that things will become better— in fact, become really good when it comes to personal ambitions and fulfillment of desires. The Universe will deliver orders placed when you had been in a good state of mind.

Mentorship from someone you admire and look up to will be forthcoming whenever you want. This is something that is available to you in physical as well as spiritual way. The Lords of Benevolence is available to you for advice and support. The King of Cups is an indication of that. Your emotions will be understood by those who are powerful and are leaders in their fields and their expertise is always available to you. Meanwhile, the Six of Wands brings new winds into your life through the interaction with many youngsters who will have a freshness of work approach and creative ideas which will help you map out your own path ahead. There is also an indication that you could meet someone who could become like a long-term thing.

You will take pride in the achievements of young people in your life — children, nieces and nephews, and protegees. If you are a teacher, then this is almost a surety. You will take pride in the way students are shaping up and that will make you intensely happy and satisfied. The Page of Pentacles shows that while the sun card brings limelight and brightness into your life because of these factors. Your own personal space will be lit by the achievements of your offspring/ children. The icing on the cake will be the way The World looks at you and also be following your leadership qualities and appreciate them. You will be much sought after for all that you can do and the way you handle youngsters. This means that people will want you to take their young ones under your wing for betterment. The Six of Cups shows that emotionally you will be in a good space in the coming week.

The Seven of Swords shows that you are ready to take flight and move into something where you won’t be hard-pressed to make difficult decisions. You just don’t want to deal with stressful things. But that said your time is good — for achievement, for commitments and new directions. So you must make use of all the opportunities presented to you at this time. The Wheel of Fortune comes to ensure that things will be good should you go forth into the world in the spirit of the adventurer. Everything will fall into your ambit and that too well. The Queen of Swords shows that you have very powerful influential women in your life who play significant roles in decision making. Perhaps this could be one of those stress factors that you want to avoid?

The Two of Cups shows that there is a chance that the single, the unattached and ones looking for life partners could meet them- this also means that those already in such relationships will make renewed efforts to keep the romance and the partnership going in a good way. The Two of Cups also shows that there is a balance in the relationship aspect at this point in time. This is also a time to express gratitude for all the good things in your life right now. This comes as a reminder through the card, Judgement which also says that this is the time to concentrate on the kind of actions you would want to perform to avoid consequences, not to your liking. Always remember that if there is an effect there has been a cause sometimes.

Much as you long to be somewhere else than where you are now, this is not going to happen any time soon. So if it is not extreme discomfort right now right here, you must make your work your God. This will keep you occupied in a good way and the time will also pass so that you will be more accepting of what you are undergoing. This is indicated by the Two of Wands which also stands for in some instances the wandering lust. The Queen of Pentacles meantime only echoes what has been said – that you are actually in a good position- powerful even. So enjoy this status and keep going. You also hold the purse strings for many people and imagine what kind of power you yield? Along with you is the King of Pentacles who supports and helps you in this journey of yours.

The Devil card signifies a strong relationship that you are bound in. Could be bondage or a real, good bond – that is something you will decide based on your experience. It also shows that this is something predominant in your life so don’t try to brush it under the carpet. This brings us to the Nine of Swords which shows overthinking, frustration, and a sense of being hemmed into situations- mostly not to your liking. This could be the fall out of the previous card, The Devil where you could be feeling the pressures of being tied down when you would like to be free and unencumbered. The Queen of Cups seems like a confirmation of what you are feeling. All you need to do is to accept the situation if there is basically nothing wrong with your association or bond.
